I concur with Pete regarding the S-60. No recovery tank, just a
pressurized

fill tank with a glass sight glass at mid height, designed to be filled
halfway.

I never have a puking issue, pressure surges seem to be handled
sufficiently

by the fill tank. Maybe 2-stroke owners should try filling their
pressure tanks

only half way.

I cannot trace the lines on mine now because it is cold
and raining. If there is any puking it will hit the ground I know that
for sure. So a recovery or holding tank is a misnomer. I think Greg is
correct. It probably is what would be termed the outlet tank(cooled
water) on an auto radiator. I looked in my BB manual and it is called a
surge tank and states it should be filled to the top. That would prove
Greg's analysis that it is in fact a part of the radiator. My genset
coolant system is a mini version of this system. Recovery tanks are not
pressurized.

I looked at my radiator fill point today (94/8v92)and
concluded that

it is no puke tank. when the buss chucks, it does not save the

fluids passed thru the cap in a tank. the

puke/chuck /ExpandedRadFluid goes out the neck of the cap holder

thru a small rubber line and down the streetside bumper onto the

ground.

the Stainless steel tank atop the engine bay is simply a remote

extension of the radiator top tank!!!!! I am thinking the Detroit

design of 7 psi is for an application where the coach builder

actually uses a recovery tank.

(My 525hp cummins has a 4.5 lb cap and recovery puke tank) I like

recovery systems with lower psi because there is no air in the

system like must be in the stainless steel tank to accomindate the

expansion of r fluids?????

there is a small line from the ss tank to the top of the actual

radiator who's purpose is to pass trapped air from rad to

sstank????? (what do you think Leroy)

we need a new name for the 'puke tank',,, "Remote radiator fill

tank"?
